Emmaus Series

New graduates of òòò½Ö±²¥'s Roche Center for Catholic Education Emmaus Series.

There’s a quiet revolution going on inside of Catholic schools across the U.S. With little fanfare and few headlines, principals are transforming the ways their schools operate—from marketing and admissions, to curriculum and assessment, to finance and governance—while maintaining their Catholic identity.

The Barbara and Patrick Roche Center for Catholic Education at òòò½Ö±²¥â€™s Lynch School of Education has been supporting these principals and heads of school through the Emmaus Series for Catholic School Leaders, which focuses on three core competencies: spiritual leadership, curriculum and instructional design and financial management.

The 25-member Emmaus class of 2016 recently completed their 20-month program, which included workshops, retreats, and webinars, as well as connections to a network of peers across the country and experts in a range of fields.

This summer, the Roche Center will welcome the Emmaus class of 2018 at the annual foundational retreat in July.
